No, you can even ramp it up.

I have 2 10'6" SST 10-20 rods that I run 16-30gram bobs on.

The biggest issue with casting a bobber on a BC is the fact that it swings like a pendulum through the air, resulting in an uneven pull on the spool.

I gave up on a round reels and went with low pro's. Now my sh!t is outta the park, 150' casts? No problem.

Also running an aerodynamic bob helps a lot.



16g Fish Doctor bob flies better than a fat bob.
